One problem is that some wml documents are not fully xml-compliant
(but can still work with WAP phones). The BBC's trial wml site (which I
found on xml tree a while back) used to be like this, though it may be
better now.

Also - the Guardian newspaper, obviously uncertain about which format to
go for has opted for structured HTML instead, which is a shame:
